Shortly after, the game popped up in Russia but that too was closed down in March of last year. But in April 2017, it was shut down completely. During this period, the game was free and featured a lot of identical content to what we have in the current Western release. In late 2011, a closed beta began in Southeast Asia, which is where the game stayed until 2017.

Kingdom Under Fire 2, which is actually the fifth game in the series, was announced in 2008. But it makes a certain kind of sense when you dig into its history. But Kingdom Under Fire 2 from publisher Gameforge is the only game I’ve ever heard of that did things the other way around. Slashing the required initial price to nothing is certainly a great way to get players to give a game a fair shake. It’s not exactly rare for MMOs to require a purchase or subscription upon release, only to go free-to-play once its userbase dwindles.
